As anyone who is addicted to TV knows, TVNZ on demand is how you watch the direct from the US episodes of all the shows. No VPN, no global mode, no US itunes account, no netflicks account just the shows now, sure you need to watch them straight away but…

Based on observing my resident youths, I'd second your observation that being On Demand is no hindrance. There are a clutch of youtube stars that I've never seen and only know exist because my 14-year-old talks about them. But looking into it, they clearly really are stars, with a huge…

Good on you, Damion. The new website for NAME (National Association of Media Educators) is in the offing (and looking good) and it would be highly appropriate to have visible links to your project.

What was a pain – being stuck at the entrance after submitting details, waiting for an email;

Yeah I found the same thing (although mine was in the 'promotions' tab of my gmail), and at least I already had the URL for the episode. None of this is pleasing to…

Not ideal, but yeah…
I didn’t mind that.

Real Me is an example of how to make a system as complicated and un-user friendly as possible and then require everybody to use it to communicate with agents of government such as Work and Income, particularly those with the least access to or expertise with IT.

At least you don't have to sign in with 'real me' I guess.

I note the personal details required are an age *range* and a gender (quite binary, which I understand not everyone is happy with). Not ideal, but yeah...

As an aside, I tried to view the piece but TVNZ refuses me entry unless I provide them with my email and other personal details.

Yeah that's a very recent thing, and the feedback from young people (and some old ones apparently) is that it's not particularly welcome. I've raised…

I like what you're doing Damian. Well done sir!

As an aside, I tried to view the piece but TVNZ refuses me entry unless I provide them with my email and other personal details. Whatever's that about? It seems a little unfriendly.

Was Dick Weir known as Wierd, after the fashion of Dan Weir?

Well done buddy, this is awesome. You've stayed the course, and delivered something to be really proud of.

So I apologise in advance for posting this (hey, it's Friday!).

Brilliant! Will push this at the 14 yr olds – and share as widely as possible. ("Only" on TVNZ ondemand – LOL. Cos, y'know Psy was only popular on youtube...)

Dick Weir used to read a news bulletin for kids. Later, Lloyd Scott did it.

My first TV job (and prob the reason I've come back to this track) was on Flipside, which was a great youth magazine show, and launched the careers of many young people kicking around in…

Well done to Damian for holding his own in a sector that's increasingly being swamped by the lowest common denominator.

We have become a nation of indoor cats, this is another example of the best minds of a generation being used to get people to click on something.

Damian has exceptional writing ability but seems unsatisfied with that and being on TVNZ OD is better ?

Well done all. I look forward to watching when I'm left to my own devices.

I’ve had nothing but support from TVNZ ever since the 2 minute coffee meeting with Head of Content Jeff Latch, which basically went “Jeff, have a look at this video from my website contributors” –…
